Kissimmee man tells deputies he sold car for drugs

A Kissimmee man was arrested and charged with armed robbery after a teenager said his remote-controlled car was stolen at gunpoint.

Detectives arrested 36-year-old Efrain Burgos-Delgado and charged him with two counts of armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit a felony, false imprisonment, grand theft, dealing in stolen property, petty theft and resisting arrest without violence.

Officials said that on Saturday, a 16-year-old was walking on Old Vineland Road in Kissimmee when a man, later identified as Delgado, approached him with a gun and stole his remote-controlled car.

Delgado then left the area, but returned and stole the victim's cellphone, according to a news release.

Authorities said Delgado was questioned and cooperated with the investigation. He told detectives he sold the remote-controlled car to purchase drugs, officials said. He was booked into the Osceola County Jail.
